<p>Before you can take full advantage of setting up a client, you will probably want to setup <a href="server-hosting-code">server hosting code</a> so that the client has something to actually connect to. Below is a sample of how to start a UDP Client and a TCP Client.</p>
<h4 id="udp-client">UDP Client</h4>
<pre><code class="csharp">string hostAddress = &quot;127.0.0.1&quot;;
ushort port = 15937;
UDPClient client = new UDPClient();
client.Connect(hostAddress, port);
</code></pre>

<h4 id="tcp-client">TCP Client</h4>
<pre><code class="csharp">TCPClient client = new TCPClient();
client.Connect(hostAddress, port);
</code></pre>

<h2 id="assigning-to-network-manager">Assigning to Network Manager</h2>
<p><strong>Hard to believe?</strong> Yes that is all the code you need to start up a client, now there is one more important piece of business we must complete. Since this client is most likely going to be the main communication <code>NetWorker</code> with the server and the game, you are probably going to want to set it up as the default <code>NetWorker</code> for the <code>NetworkManager</code> to use. You can do this with the following:</p>
<pre><code class="csharp">// The client object is the same object from the above code samples
NetworkManager.Instance.Initialize(client);
</code></pre>

<p>By doing this, the passed in client will be the <code>NetWorker</code> that is used for all communication managed by the <code>NetworkManager</code>. This includes spawning objects, RPC calls on those objects, scene transitions and so forth.</p>
